ORIGINAL STORY

IDAHO FALLS — Police vehicles are in the area near South Boulevard and 14th Street.

Idaho Falls officers were called to the area around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday, and police are not saying why.

At least half a dozen police cars and an Idaho Falls Fire Department ambulance are at the scene.

Police spokeswoman Jessica Clements says officers will remain there “for at least some time.”

“There is minor traffic disruption in the area,” she said. “We would ask people to avoid the area for the time being while officers work through the situation, but we do not believe there is danger to the general public at this time stemming from this situation.”
